I can not participate now in discussion – there is no free time. But I will return – I will necessarily write that I think on this question.

[...] possibile risposta a questo dilemma l’ho letta tra gli interessanti interventi a questo articolo dell’autore di Zeitgeist, e sarebbe l’idea di fornire Zeitgeist anche come plugin facoltativo per Nautilus, che [...]

Zeitgeist is a terrific project and it adds a lot of value to gnome desktop. However, considering where tracker is going these days, I would recomend you guys to use tracker as the backend (and push requirements to us), and focus on doing the automated tagging and other automatic property/data management in addition to being a great UI front-end.

Also please follow the activity of the Tracker project for the last months. We have effectively bootstrapped this project to a completely different level. This we started doing even before GUADEC last year (so before Federico’s speech already).

It’s true that a lot of that work is aimed at mobile devices. This of course doesn’t mean that we made it unsuitable for desktops.

Also note that several key people of the GNOME community are involved, they/we are taking the future of the Tracker project unprecedentedly serious.

Please don’t have yet another NIH storage and query engine and use for example Tracker (or indeed, like what Chris said, Akonadi) to store and query your RDF stuff. And please consider reading about SPARQL and Nepomuk.

All of us, several teams working on metadata in general, are really heading and cooperating in that direction. The storage engine really sounds like a duplication of efforts. It would be great if instead projects would integrate with each other, to form a cohesive platform for metadata storage and querying.

If somehow Nepomuk or SPARQL isn’t suitable for Zeitgeist’s use-cases, then as a developer at the Tracker project I will personally make sure that we’ll investigate your use-cases.

@James Not only! We will include a feature like it! But it is not the main purpose of it!

So it's like what dashboard promised?

This sounds like it would be duplicating the work done by Nepomuk and Akonadi which already has a wealth of support and funding. I would prefer they were moved to the freedesktop project so that they can be used by any desktop, but they are based on C++.

@Torben I was thinking of taking part of the engine "the datasink" which is the core of Zeitgeist and writing it in C and creating a wrapper for python around it! The rest of the engine can then stay in python! For Nautilus one can easy write plugin in C that uses the Zeitgeist engine. It is possible to ask for a journal of a specific folder and its child folders! I will suggest the idea to other @Ismael Olea You can follow two of the devs here http://twitter.com/seiflotfy and http://twitter.com/aantn
